2019 Map of Ayersville

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Northwest Ohio is defined here by the confluence of numerous meandering waterways, including Powell Cr, Eagle Cr, and Wagner Run. In this corner of Defiance and Paulding counties, the small settlements of Ayersville, Arthur, and Rice serve as local anchors connected by a precise grid of rural township roads. The map reveals a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Taylor Cem, Ice Cem, and Myers Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by the shifting boundaries of several townships and the proximity of Blevins Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, where established farmsteads sit alongside modern developments like S Jefferson Ave.
